Birthdays not showing?

I'm trying to figure out why the birthday list near the bottom of the Home page only shows birthdays of members that joined last year along with the staff. I'm thinking that Birthdays of members joining before 2022 did not get imported into the new forum.

Can some of you check your profile to see if your birthday date is missing? It seems that if you did not join the forum in 2022 or 2023 then you will not show up in the birthday list.

On the old vb forum there were at least 30 birthdays every day. :cake:

Thanks for checking it out! So, birthdays are currently set to show up only for members who joined in the last 5 years? Personally, I think it would be nice to have all birthdays. For myself, this coming April will mark 6 since years since I joined the forum, yet I always think it's special when someone reaches out to me on my birthday. And I know that quite a few of the other frequent posters have been around even longer than I have, yet these people are often the ones I am most apt to send birthday messages to. 🎂 😊

If necessary, maybe there's another way to filter which birthdays show up... for instance, only members with at least one post? That would at least filter out all the people with zero posts. 🤷‍♀️
We agree that...
Can you upvote it too? It's my understanding that the more upvotes it gets the more it moves to the top of the thread? let's test it.
Sure! :thumbsup: So, it looks to me like the thread defaults to sorting replies by date like usual, but members can click "Sort by votes" so that the ones with the most votes will appear at the top. Nice!
